The trailhead begins at Kampung Permatang Timbul, offering hikers an escape into nature away from urban bustle. Visitors can enjoy cool, refreshing air and scenic surroundings throughout the trek. The waterfall derives its name from the distinctive stepped rock formations that resemble natural staircases, making it unique among Kedah's natural attractions.

Along the way, a variety of local flora and fauna can be observed, making this experience both rejuvenating for the mind and educational about the local ecosystem. Appropriate hiking attire and footwear are recommended for comfort and safety. Visitors are encouraged to carry sufficient water supplies and maintain the cleanliness of the area by not littering along the trail. The best time to visit is during the morning hours to avoid excessive heat and to enjoy the tranquility before other visitors arrive. Ensure your mobile phone is fully charged as some sections of the trail may have limited network coverage.
